I've been sick the past few days. I can't keep any nourishment down. We got high calorie shakes and I couldn't even keep that down. I've lost 5 lbs or so and sorta starting to look like a cancer patient.
Today we started a notebook on when I take meds, and when I get sick etc. I think I can sorta for a pattern. If so I'll know when to take them. They have a specific schedule. Either one hour before food or 2 hour after. I think I'm noticing that if I do the meds 1 hour before I eat I don't get sick. This is just a theory.....not enough evidence to proceed.
I didn't sleep at all last night. It was like having ants crawling all over my skin. So I couldn't get comfy. Add that to me always being cold lately, and it was a long night.
Today I'm taking it easy trying to rest for tomorrow. It's scan day!! We get to see if this awful chemo is even working. Yay!
Cassandra, I just had surgery last week and the pre-op beds have this new thick, comfy gown that hooks up to a warm air machine! They say it has made a big difference in people's temperatures, including mine! I was 99 after just a few minutes(vs97.6 normal). I wonder if they rent them out??
